What is the difference between DNA and RNA

2 answers:

5 0

DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, in which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring. DNA is a double-stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule. DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable. DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic info while RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins. DNA and RNA base pairing are a little different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring. I hope this answer has helped you in some way, and that there is more than one answer to how DNA and RNA are different. I listed as much as I could find.

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

$E_i =E_f$

so:

Mgh = $\frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = $\frac{1}{2}MR^2$

I = $\frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2$

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = $\frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = $\frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2$

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = $V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))$

V = 2 m/s

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
